For some parts of the disaster-humanitarianism-development nexus, it is no longer necessary to explain why we need to include gender; for others there is still much work to be done. For example, disaster warning systems often prioritise technical over social parameters, but we will see a UN Women video whose main protagonist (a grassroots Unit Leader in the Cyclone Preparedness Program Bangladesh), clearly articulates the gendered social context of warnings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">The disaster-humanitarianism-development nexus itself encompasses many differing aims, worldviews, tasks and approaches \u2013 even without the addition of gender. Bringing all these together can mean that we all may be starting at very different levels of understanding, interest or willingness to engage with this issue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">This presentation offers some examples of the ways the gender and disaster connection has been addressed, sidelined or simplified and some thoughts about continuing gaps, challenges and opportunities. For example, we explored how Bangladesh has made a major gender responsive input to their National Resilience Programme, the goal of which is \u2018To sustain the resilience of human and economic development in Bangladesh through inclusive, gender responsive disaster management and risk informed development\u2019,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">In policy areas (e.g the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030), we have seen some enhancement of the gender focus since earlier Global Frameworks, but we still need to make the case for a vision that goes beyond a narrow focus on women and on women as vulnerable, and that addresses intersectionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jNxmBDmXC0s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen title=\"Gender and disasters: Presence and absence in policy and practice (HCRI Landmark Lecture 2022\/23)\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our latest events&#8230; Navigating Crossroads: Advancements and Challenges in Medical Humanitarianism and Global Health, 11th September, UoM This one-day conference explored the crossroads in the fields of medical humanitarianism and global health, highlighting the critical issues and emerging trends that shape the present and future of healthcare delivery in humanitarian and global settings.

Those who took up the fight against the government over torture, forced disappearance, protracted incommunicado detention, and invented law-of-war offences for use in the military commissions were lawyers. Prof Hajjar\u00a0explained why hundreds of legal professionals - JAGs and attorneys from corporate law firms, human rights lawyers and solo practitioners, law professors and their students - were galvanised to defend the rule of law that was upended by the torture policy and enlisted in what turned into a war in court.<\/p><p>[embed]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JkUhVmbIYg8[\/embed]<\/p><hr \/><p><strong>HCRI book talk:\u00a0The Vulnerable Humanitarian - Ending burnout culture in the aid sector<br \/><\/strong>8th Nov 2022 \/\/ Speaker: Dr Gemma Houldey, writer, researcher and facilitator of wellbeing in the aid sector (<a href=\"https:\/\/gemmahouldey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>)<\/p><p>Dr Houldey introduced her new book,\u00a0The Vulnerable Humanitarian, which challenges the prevalence of stress and burnout culture within the aid sector, laying bare the issues of power, agency, security and wellbeing that continue to trouble organisations and staff. Proposing new ways of addressing wellbeing that are sensitive to the multi-faceted personalities and lived experiences of people working on aid and development programmes, The Vulnerable Humanitarian is essential reading both for current aid sector employees and for prospective employees and students.<\/p><p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xyF-7psC_Hk<\/p><hr \/><p><strong>HCRI Landmark Lecture: Gender and disasters - Presence and absence in policy and practice<\/strong><br \/>11th October 2022 \/\/ Speaker:\u00a0Maureen Fordham BSc PhD is Professor of Gender and Disaster Resilience and is the Centre Director of the IRDR Centre for Gender and Disaster at UCL (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/risk-disaster-reduction\/people\/prof-maureen-fordham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>).<\/p><p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">There is now a considerable body of work that addresses a range of issues that connect gender and disaster (see resources at: <\/span><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEJKNXYwalZIb0NpU1JENkdLQ19pQUYzNFZUUXxBQ3Jtc0trRENhelZIUGdEMWJjWl85WDFkNmZLUmxfWE0xai16ckZ1SlQ1S3dybjhyRTFFWW1xeEY3NXhkLVFUT2dVOHl4YkxhUmVvemlzaUhhcFAtN1I5THJrMG01dk9uR1dITWpxSW9BeWI3OHM2NTJjX0tGQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gdnonline.org%2Fresources%29&v=jNxmBDmXC0s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.gdnonline.org\/resources)<\/a><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">. For some parts of the disaster-humanitarianism-development nexus, it is no longer necessary to explain why we need to include gender; for others there is still much work to be done. For example, disaster warning systems often prioritise technical over social parameters, but we will see a UN Women video whose main protagonist (a grassroots Unit Leader in the Cyclone Preparedness Program Bangladesh), clearly articulates the gendered social context of warnings. <\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">The disaster-humanitarianism-development nexus itself encompasses many differing aims, worldviews, tasks and approaches \u2013 even without the addition of gender. Bringing all these together can mean that we all may be starting at very different levels of understanding, interest or willingness to engage with this issue. <\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">This presentation offers some examples of the ways the gender and disaster connection has been addressed, sidelined or simplified and some thoughts about continuing gaps, challenges and opportunities. For example, we explored how Bangladesh has made a major gender responsive input to their National Resilience Programme, the goal of which is \u2018To sustain the resilience of human and economic development in Bangladesh through inclusive, gender responsive disaster management and risk informed development\u2019,<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\">In policy areas (e.g the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030), we have seen some enhancement of the gender focus since earlier Global Frameworks, but we still need to make the case for a vision that goes beyond a narrow focus on women and on women as vulnerable, and that addresses intersectionality.<\/span><\/p><p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jNxmBDmXC0s<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-staff-blogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2796"}],"version-history":[{"count":93,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3043,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2796\/revisions\/3043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
